After the Finish Line

Scooby stands still, but the moment feels anything but static.

I saw a sense of victory—as if he had just crossed the ribbon at the end of a race. Not the loud kind of win, not one that demands applause, but the quiet pause that comes after effort has already been spent. His posture carries gratitude. Almost like a brief thank-you to something unseen.

A moment of acknowledgment before moving on. Although, There is no crowd here to praise him.

No medal. Only the relief of having made it through.

What interested me was that instant—when movement stops, breath returns, and the body recognizes that the hardest part is over. The race matters less than the arrival.
